  1. DIY “Fresh” Ornaments

What you need:

  • Set of clear ornaments, medium sized
  • Fresh greens (eucalyptus, evergreen, pine)

Remove the caps of your clear ornaments, and fill them with your favourite greenery. I filled mine with pine, evergreen and eucaluptus, then mixed them up with other ornaments and pinecones, some twinkle lights, and a dome, and I was set!

2. DIY Pine “Tree”

What you need:

  • Vintage pot
  • Wet flower foam
  • Fresh pine
  • Scissors
  • Mini ornaments

Fill your favourite pot with wet flower foam (soaked so the pine stays fresh), snip some pine twigs, and arrange them in the foam as you see fit. Scatter the arrangement with some mini ornaments, and voila, another piece of lively decor!

3. DIY Cotton Stem Arrangement

What you need:

  • 2 cotton flower stems (Michael’s has them)
  • Seeded and silver dollar eucalyptus
  • Fresh pine
  • Vase
  • Floral wire

Arrange the eucalyptus bunches with your cotton stems, and secure with floral wire. Fill your vase with water, place your eucalyptus bunch in the vase, and scatter fresh pine around the arrangement until the vase is full. So simple!

4. DIY Candleholders

 What you need:

  • Clear glass bottles
  • Fresh pine, evergreen, and eucalyptus
  • Water
  • Tapered candlesticks

Snip 4 stems of your choice, big enough to fill the body of the bottle. Place one stem into each bottle, and carefully fill each bottle with water. Secure your candlesticks into the tops of the bottles, and you have yourself the easiest Christmas centrepiece!

5. DIY Twig Wreath

 What you need:

  • Twig wreath (I got mine from Michael’s)
  • Fresh eucalyptus
  • Assorted sprigs (also from Michael’s)
  • Burlap ribbon
  • Floral wire
  • Scissors

 Place your eucaluptus and sprigs where you want them. Snip some floral wire and wrap the sprigs and eucalyptus in place. If you’d like ribbon on your wreath, feel free to wrap some of that around the wreath too!

When you’ve got your desired look, hang your wreath with your burlap ribbon, and tie a bow to secure it. I always like to hang the wreath with a command hook behind it as well, just to help support the weight of the wreath, and to prevent it from falling down. 

Looking for more decor DIYs?! Not to worry - I’ve got a whole bunch coming your way!
